Ward off diabetes with potato salad!
Widespread diabetes is definitely a danger, but there’s an easy way to
ward it off, say Harvard researchers – load up on fiber. And one of the best sources is that picnic classic – potato salad.
The catch? It needs to be made with the skin on, using small red or new
potatoes, for it to deliver up to 7 grams of fiber per cup. Fiber stabilizes
blood sugar, reducing your risk of Type II diabetes by an impressive 42%.
